<TITLE>02. Par -</TITLE>L-260-314 And then, at two o'clock, Friday, a Mr. Wheeler. We called him Pod Wheeler; he's a... I forget really what his right--know who... I--I just seen it in the paper and didn't know who it was, until I found out. He was a neighbor of ours for years, and--and he's just passed away. He was right here in front of the church the other night, and I was trying to get him to come in church. The other night, about three weeks ago, stood right there, and I just trying to persuade him to come into church. Because I don't think he went to church or had any profession of any kind, yet he's got a boy that's a Baptist preacher. But he didn't have any profession as far as I know of, and he's gone on now to meet God. So that'll be Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the Coots' funeral home. And also, Brother Neville and them will be singing in that--that funeral there.
And so, if any of you that wants to attend the services, that's tomorrow at two, or tomorrow at one. I think that's right, isn't it, brother? And two, the other one. Is that right? Two at the Coots' funeral home.

L-261-316 And now, Sunday morning... Saturday will be the broadcast. And Brother Neville will probably let you know by then, just what--if we can have a healing service for Sunday night, or what time we'll be back if I fly down to--to Florida to see Brother Bosworth. I don't know just how I'd get away from him; he such a dear old friend. And probably our last times to meet, if the Lord permits it, on this earth. And he's... I don't know whether I can get away from him right away or not; and I don't want to get away from him, but, you know how it is, you got other things you got to do.

L-261-317 Now, there's one statement I'd like to say here while there not too many, and people who's my friends...
I'm glad to see Sister Smith there. The first time I seen her in a long time. How are you, Sister Smith? A year, my, I believe the last time I seen you... [Sister Smith speaks--Ed.] At Benton Harbor, I hope to get up there sometime. That's fine. I believe the last time I seen you was in a funeral service in Louisville. And I remember Sister Smith very well, how we... I used to come get her in a truck when we'd go down to church, old coal tar hanging out the back of it, and the fenders flopping up and down, and it cold, and me, one foot setting on the outside... Oh, my. Lot of water's passed down the river since then, Sister Smith. Yes, sir. Well, we thank the Lord for those precious memories, and still love Him...?...

L-261-319 One thing, someone might wonder, the other night... I was talking to Brother Fleeman out here on the street. And sometimes someone said, "As soon as service is over, what makes Brother Branham just take right off and go?"
Here's what it is: my wife's alone. See? And if I get to talking, I'll talk half the night, and there she is, setting up there by herself most the time. And that's the reason that I hurry out to get back to her (You see?) of a nighttime, 'cause I get to talking; I talk too long. I'll talk to this one a half hour. I just can't go by and say, "How are you tonight? How are you. How are you?" I don't do that. I just stop and go to talking; and somebody go to talking about something, and then I'm there for a hour. See? And that's why; she sets up and waits and so forth. And that's why it is. I just didn't want you to think it was because I didn't want to meet my friends and shake their hands, and express our fellowship, and so forth, but it was just a case of that kind.
So now, everyone be in prayer for the sick and the afflicted.
